The plum trees came into bloom while I was away.*

Did the cherry trees seem to bloom in more distinct waves this year -- pink, then white, then puffball pink? It seemed like it to me -- maybe it's just that Cook Street Village blooms differently than James Bay, where I remember streets of pale and bright mixed, leading to various vague internal ramblings about aesthetic juxtapositions during various vague external ramblings through its streets.

The plum trees* are also pink (or white) but a much more satisfying pink, darker and more lipsticky without ever being in danger of becoming red.

There is a strange message on our voicemail from a hotel in New Brunswick. inlandsea?

*I think they are plum trees. They look like cherry trees, only not. Actually, I have no idea what they are, but for the purposes of making me seem like an observant fan of the natural, let's assume plum trees. Thank you.

Right. I went and had another look. The have slightly serrated leaves, green shading to red, and small ball-shaped buds on stalks. Survey says: crabapples.

Sigh. Now do I amend the post, or what?

Pfleh, I would just leave. It's a botanical discussion, it's supposed to be vague and floofy.

Btw, isn't it cool that roses and apples are in the same family? If you eat fresh rosehips, they do have a slightly appley flavour.
